Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

I planned a plum pie for a dinner party once, and I dropped the graham-cracker crust as I took it out of the package (it was store-bought). When one of my friends called with the inevitable "I am on the way over, can I bring anything?" call, I was like, "um, a pie crust? Thanks"

Snapshots from Greece: The Modiano Market in Thessaloniki

Ooooh this comes at the perfect time for me, I am going to the Greek Islands in September and got a room with a kitchenette just so I could cook!

A Salsa Golf Taste Test

we used to eat this as salad dressing when we were kids, and were to picky to eat "Russian" or "French" dressing. I think I was fifteen before I realized there wasn't somebody making this in the restaurant kitchen.

Follow Up: Job Offers Pour in for Hedge Fund Delivery Driver

I hope they publish where he gets his new wonderful job, so I can make sure I don't ever spend a dime there.

From Hedge Fund Manager to Pizza Delivery Driver

And - not to get off on a rant here - I notice he's still sending his kids to private school that costs 15k a year EACH - and letting someone else pick up the bill. Because keeping two privileged toddlers away from the rabble in a public school is certainly a worthy cause.

What a jackhole.

From Hedge Fund Manager to Pizza Delivery Driver

Spare me. I'm sure ABC just stumbled over him at the pizza place too, and wanted to do a story on him. I have no doubt he's been working the publicity angle since the day he started slinging pies.

I have zero sympathy for any of these banking people. Frankly I have more compassion for the college student that would have had that pizza job if this jerk hadn't taken it.

French in a Flash: Chilean Sea Bass with Bouillabaisse Broth

Not to be the one who checks the typos, but shouldn't it be "heedless extravagance"?

Because I'm not sure what "headless extravagance" implies, but I know it can't be good...

Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'

Fries, mostly. Sweet potato fries are almost never as good as I expect which is a bummer. And pickles.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

I once had to weigh-in at the doctor's office, and the nurse didn't even let me take off my shoes. I'm surprised she let me put down my purse. You can only imagine the trauma of THAT number...

I agree with random, I go for the shower clothes at home. I may start a twice-a-week weighing, for right now it's generally Friday mornings.
